Indirectly, yes. On 25 March 2011, Ausbridge Holdings bought 200,000 shares (amounting to a 66% equity stake) in Advantage Strategic. Ausbridge Holdings was 95% owned by Karti. An ASC spokesperson said he does not own any equity in Ausbridge now, although it is not known when Karti divested his stake.The company's 2011 annual return shows that Karti owned 18,000 of the total 19,000 outstanding shares in the company as on 21 September 2011. In March this year, Karti quit the directorship of Ausbridge.On 15 September 2008, CBN Reddy and Kriya FMCG Distributors acquired a 50% stake in Advantage Strategic. Kriya FMCG was founded with Karti's wife Srinidhi Chidambaram as one of the two first directors.On 1 September 2008, Srinidhi Chidambaram and her daughter transferred their majority shares in the company to Reddy. An honourary secretary of Tamil Nadu Tennis Association, Reddy is a director in Kriya FMCG, Advantage Strategic and Kaiser Surya Samudra.(There are multiple entries for the transfer of shares from Karti's family members to CBN Reddy. The 2006 annual return for Kriya FMCG shows that Srinidhi Chidambaram and her daughter transferred 22,500 shares (out of a total of 25,000) to Reddy.However, the annual return for 2007 shows Srinidhi and her daughter as the owners of those shares and the 2008 return shows that the same number of shares were again transferred on 1 September 2008.)Yes. Kriya FMCG had a few, small business transactions with Sindya Aqua Minerale Pvt Ltd. This company is owned by Apollo Hospitals chairman Pratap Reddy's daughter Suneeta Reddy and her husband Dwarakanath Reddy. The same promoters own a 26% stake in Aircel through Sindya Securities and Investments Pvt Ltd and Deccan Digital Networks.Kriya FMCG's books between 2006 and 2011 show that the company maintained a deposit with Sindya Aqua Minerale. That company was among the few companies Kriya did routine business with. Sindya is shown as a creditor (Rs 2.5 lakh) in 2007 and as a debtor in 2008 (Rs 2.17 lakh), 2009 (Rs 8.22 lakh) and 2010 (Rs 2.4 lakh).The entries are recorded on Kriya FMCG's balance sheet as Sindhya Aqua Minerals, presumably a typographic error as there is no company by that name.
